Säntis Malt Edition Dreifaltigkeit

Really a well made whiskey! I just opened the bottle this evening, ready to share with friends and family over the Thanksgiving break. The nose reminds me of my younger days during the northern Vermont winters. I used to have this hearty breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup and smoked bacon. I then spent the rest of my day doing moguls., ending the evening over a nice crackling fire and some dark ale. This smells just like that Vermont winter maple and bacon. The taste then doesn't disappoint. It's meaty, oily. Pungent grilled meats. The finish is long and lingering, almost a bitter sweet finish. Like that cracking fire and dark ale. I especially love the color...it's a burnt reddish brown, like maple glazed biscuits. Now...only if I still had the legs and stamina to do a full day of mogul skiing....but this glass of Swiss will have to do
